Make your own professional-quality chainsaw chain loops with the STIHL RAPID™ HEXA™ RH 25-Foot Bulk Chainsaw Chain Roll. Genuine STIHL OEM part number 3133 005 0410 contains approximately 25 feet of professional chainsaw chain with 3/8" (.375") pitch, .050" (1.3 mm) gauge, and 410 drive links.

This bulk roll is designed for professional chainsaw dealers, service departments, forestry operations, logging businesses, and experienced operators who need the flexibility to assemble chainsaw chains in different lengths. Instead of purchasing individual preassembled loops, users can cut the chain to the required number of drive links and connect the ends using compatible joining components and the proper chain riveting equipment.

STIHL RAPID HEXA RH features an innovative, patented V-shaped cutting tooth design engineered for fast, efficient wood cutting and excellent cutting-edge retention. STIHL reports that its HEXA cutting system delivers up to 10% faster cutting performance compared with STIHL RAPID Super chain under comparable conditions.

Unlike conventional chainsaw chains, the STIHL HEXA cutting system uses a specialized cutter profile that requires a STIHL HEXA six-sided sharpening file. The matching file helps maintain the unique cutter geometry for consistent cutting performance and convenient hand sharpening.

The RH version features a standard cutter sequence and is not classified as a low-kickback chain. It is intended for experienced operators performing demanding professional cutting applications. This is not the RH3 low-kickback version or the RHF full-skip version.

Whether you're assembling replacement chains for customers, maintaining a fleet of professional chainsaws, or producing custom-length chains for forestry equipment, the STIHL RAPID HEXA RH bulk roll provides the flexibility to create properly sized chain loops as needed.

What Makes STIHL RAPID HEXA RH Different?

STIHL RAPID HEXA RH introduces a patented cutting tooth design that differs significantly from conventional chainsaw chains. The HEXA system combines a specialized V-shaped cutting edge with a matching sharpening file to provide exceptional cutting performance and convenient maintenance.

Patented V-Shaped Cutting Edge: STIHL HEXA cutters feature a unique V-shaped profile designed to improve cutting efficiency and deliver fast cutting performance.

Up to 10% Faster Cutting: STIHL reports that RAPID HEXA can provide up to 10% faster cutting performance compared with STIHL RAPID Super saw chain under comparable testing conditions.

Standard Cutter Sequence: RH uses a standard cutter arrangement rather than the full-skip sequence found on the RHF version.

Non-Low-Kickback Professional Design: Unlike the RH3 version, RH is not classified as a low-kickback chain. It is intended for experienced operators who understand kickback hazards and proper cutting techniques.

Long-Lasting Cutting Edge: The HEXA cutter design is engineered to maintain effective cutting performance and sharpness during demanding use.

Unique Sharpening System: HEXA requires a specially shaped file designed to match the cutter geometry rather than a conventional round file.

Bulk Roll Flexibility: The 25-foot roll allows trained chain assemblers to produce different chain loop lengths from the same chain type, reducing the need to stock a separate preassembled loop for every guide bar configuration.

25-Foot Bulk Roll – Make Your Own Chainsaw Chain Loops

The STIHL RAPID HEXA RH 25-foot bulk roll is designed for customers who have the proper equipment and experience to assemble chainsaw chains to the required length.

Instead of purchasing a separate preassembled chain for every guide bar, the user can select the required drive-link count, separate the correct amount of chain from the roll, and join the ends to form a complete loop.

Custom Chain Lengths: Produce loops for different guide bar lengths when the cutting system requires 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge, and the selected drive-link count.

Dealer and Repair Shop Convenience: Bulk chain is useful for service departments that assemble replacement chains for multiple customer machines.

Fleet Maintenance: Forestry and logging operations can maintain a supply of chain for multiple compatible chainsaw configurations.

Inventory Flexibility: A single bulk roll can supply several different loop lengths instead of requiring every finished loop to be stocked individually.

Professional Assembly: Each loop must be assembled using suitable connecting components and properly formed rivets to maintain chain integrity.

Important: The roll contains 410 drive links in total. The number of finished loops depends on the required drive-link count of each loop and the connecting components and assembly method used.

Examples of Chain Lengths That Can Be Assembled

The following are examples of common drive-link counts used with 3/8" pitch, .050" gauge chain. These examples are provided to illustrate bulk chain applications and do not guarantee compatibility with every guide bar of the stated length.

• 20" Guide Bar: 72 Drive Links – verify exact guide bar specifications
• 25" Guide Bar: 84 Drive Links – verify exact guide bar specifications
• 28" Guide Bar: 91 Drive Links – verify exact guide bar specifications
• 32" Guide Bar: 105 Drive Links – verify exact guide bar specifications
• 36" Guide Bar: 115 Drive Links – verify exact guide bar specifications

Important: Guide bars with the same advertised length can require different drive-link counts. Always use the exact specifications of the guide bar and manufacturer-approved cutting attachment.

Example Yield: A 410-drive-link roll provides enough chain material for five 72-drive-link loops, with 50 drive links remaining, before accounting for any assembly-specific material requirements. Actual usable yield depends on the correct joining method and components.

Patented HEXA V-Shaped Cutter Technology

The defining feature of STIHL RAPID HEXA RH is its patented V-shaped cutting tooth geometry. This innovative cutter design is engineered to improve cutting performance while maintaining a durable, effective cutting edge.

Traditional chainsaw chains use cutter profiles that are sharpened with conventional round files. STIHL HEXA uses a different tooth profile specifically designed to work with the HEXA sharpening system.

Improved Cutting Efficiency: The specialized V-shaped cutting edge helps the chain move through wood efficiently.

Consistent Cutter Geometry: The matching HEXA file helps operators maintain the intended cutter profile during routine sharpening.

Long-Lasting Edge Retention: The HEXA cutting system is designed to maintain sharp cutting performance during professional use.

Reduced Maintenance Interruptions: Convenient hand sharpening helps professional operators restore cutting performance.

Professional Cutting Performance: The HEXA cutter is designed for demanding wood-cutting applications where cutting speed and efficiency are important.

Special STIHL HEXA Sharpening System

One of the most important differences between STIHL RAPID HEXA RH and conventional chainsaw chains is the sharpening system.

STIHL RAPID HEXA RH must be sharpened using the specially designed STIHL HEXA file. This file has a unique six-sided shape that matches the specialized cutter geometry.

The matching file helps maintain the correct cutting tooth profile while making routine hand sharpening convenient for professional users.

Special-Shaped File: The STIHL HEXA file is designed specifically for the patented HEXA cutting teeth.

Consistent Sharpening: The file geometry helps operators maintain the intended cutting edge profile when following STIHL sharpening instructions.

Convenient Hand Filing: The HEXA system is designed for efficient sharpening without requiring conventional round-file techniques.

Professional Maintenance: Proper sharpening helps maintain cutting performance and extend the usable service life of the chain.

Important: Conventional round chainsaw files and ordinary round-file sharpening methods are not suitable for maintaining the patented HEXA cutting geometry.

Sharpening Recommendation: Use the STIHL HEXA file specified for your chain and follow STIHL's recommended filing procedure, cutter angles, and depth gauge settings.

Fits Saw Systems Using These Chain Specifications

Required Chain Specifications: 3/8" Standard Pitch and .050" Gauge, with a Finished Loop Containing the Correct Drive-Link Count

Finished loops assembled from this bulk roll are intended for compatible chainsaws equipped with guide bars and drive sprockets requiring standard 3/8" pitch and .050" (1.3 mm) gauge.

Because this is bulk chain, the finished loop must be assembled to the exact drive-link count required by the specific guide bar and cutting system.

STIHL RAPID HEXA RH is intended for compatible chainsaw cutting systems approved for its professional, non-low-kickback cutter design.

Important: Chainsaws may be equipped with different guide bars, sprockets, and chain configurations depending on the model and application. Always verify the specifications stamped on the guide bar and compare them with the existing chain.

Do not substitute this chain for 3/8" Picco, .325", .058", .063", or other chain configurations. The chain must match the guide bar, drive sprocket, and manufacturer-approved cutting attachment specifications.

Model Fitment: Verify compatibility by guide bar specifications, drive sprocket pitch, required drive-link count, and the chainsaw manufacturer's approved cutting attachments. A chainsaw model alone does not establish fitment.
